Good chasing smallmouth around in shallow water, twitching and cranking shallow running crankbaits. Areas of visible rock were easy to target with a mix of cranks. Twitching the original Rapala floater was the most fun because some were willing to strike on the surface. Post-spawn fish were active throughout the day but had to cover a lot of water looking for the bigger fish. Drop-off areas near boulders held most of the bigger fish.

The key for finding these fish was looking for the deeper banks with a mix of boulders and gravel that was windblown and with as little vegetation as possible.

With a sunny, warm afternoon upon us, we explored some shallow bays with laydowns and found a few very nice pre-spawn crappies and bluegills. Water warmed to 61 degrees along the northern shorelines of the bays. Slowly swimming the Lindner Panfish jig was the ticket. Tipping with a minnow or soft plastic wasn't necessary but may have led to a few additional bites.
